Modify Nvarchar Datatype To Datatime Datatype
Mar 14, 2008
Hi,
I imported a table from Accees to SQL 7 with data in it.
I need to modify one of the datatype columns to "datetime" from nvarchar.
I tried to convert it manually, in SQL Server Enterprise Manager tool, but it gave me an error.
I also tried, creating another column "DATE2-datatype:datetime" and updating the column with the old one.
UPDATE users SET DATE2 = DATE.. But it also faild,..
How can I modify the column?
Thank you.

I can't seem to get nvarchar(max) to work with ADO 2.8 using sql native client.
I am creating a stored procedure and every time i attempt to add a parameter to the command object of type nVarChar(max) I receive the error
"Parameter object is improperly defined"
here is the code to add the parameter
cmd.Parameters.Append cmd.createparameter(@piComments,adLongVarWChar,adparaminput,,me.comments)
adLongVarWChar is the ado data type i am using to map to the new nVarChar(max) but it does not appear to be working.
Is this supported in ADO? I am using the sql native client connection to connect to the database as follows.
pubStrConnectionString = "Provider=SQLNCLI;" _
& "Server=.sqlExpress;" _
& "Database=MyDBName;" _
& "Integrated Security=SSPI;" _
& "DataTypeCompatibility=80;" _
& "MARS Connection=True;"
thanks

Hi, I have created a database using VWD to keep values of urls and have structured it as...
Prefix (http://, network name), address(www.name.com), and name (name of address), the address field has been defined as a nvarchar(MAX).
Most of the addresses updated into the address field work, except something like: www.java-scripts.net/javascripts/Image-Rollover-Script.phtml.
I get this error:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'NETWORKNAMEASPNET'.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open user default database. Login failed.Login failed for user 'NETWORKNAMEASPNET'.Source Error:
Line 1176: if (((this.Adapter.InsertCommand.Connection.State & System.Data.ConnectionState.Open)
Line 1177: != System.Data.ConnectionState.Open)) {
Line 1178: this.Adapter.InsertCommand.Connection.Open();
Line 1179: }
Line 1180: try {
I can insert something like www.google.com into the addresses field without any errors. Any ideas why?If it is a nvarchar type it should be able to except all sorts of characters??

We have few stored procedures that use nvarchar datatype, this was not issue on SQL server 7.0 but in 2000 becomes a big issue.
For example query that runs for 3 minutes in SQL server 2000 by replacing NVARCHAR to VARCHAR the same query runs for 2 seconds.
The biggest challenge that I have deals with tables and user-defined datatypes of NVARCHAR that has been bounded to the table.
How can I alter those without data corruption?

Exception in one of the stored procs:
Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value to datatype int. After moving database from 2000 to 2005.
Using backup and restore.
Note I had the same issue after restoring the production database on my local server SQL2000->SQL2000.
The problem was solved by restoring master and msdb from the production. But I can't do this on the SQL2005.
This is not a collation issue as I have ensured collation is the same on all databases including the system ones.
The database in question makes extensive use of user defined data types (Which I have recreated on the destination server).
Can anyone please help?

Ok I have upgraded my works database from a poorly designed Access database to a SQL database. The previous system allowed NULL values and duplicates to be inserted into a field that should NOT ALLOW NULL Values or duplicates. Therefore, this issue has now been moved across to my new system as I cannot set these constraints on the field that has multiple NULL values.
My solution would be to use a sequential operator, so whatever = NULL would be changed to a sequential number that us as administrators would know was a bogus number starting at something like = 999999900 counting up from that. There are only 250 records that would require updating.
To make things more interesting this field is not a integer type, its a Nvarchar type as its a Hardware ID. Both numerical and characters are require.

Good afternoon,
I have an issue with an ssis variable datatype.
The scenario is as follows:
I have a stored procedure:
PROCEDURE [dbo].[sp_newTransaction]
@sourceSystem varchar(50),
@txOut NUMERIC(18,0) OUTPUT
AS
insert into scn_transaction (sourceSystemName) values(@sourceSystem);
SELECT @txOut = @@identity
Whose purpose is to perform an insert into a table and return me the identity value of the inserted record, which I'll then use throughout the rest of my package. The identity column in the inserted table is numeric(18,0).
I execute the stored proc with the following sql with an OLE DB connection manager:
exec sp_newTransaction ?, ?
The first parameter is a string variable from earlier in the package, and the second is the output parameter. I have the following parameter mappings to the execute sql task:
User:ystxId output numeric 1 -1
User:ourceSys input varchar 0 -1
The proc is correctly called, and the row insesrted, however I get a type conversion error when SSIS attempts to map the return parameter to my package variable... I've tried all sorts of combonations, and can't seem to get it to execute.
At one point I wasn't returning a numeric, but rather an int from the stored proc, and all was well until I went to use the variable in a derived column later in the package, and the type was converted quite incorrectly (a 1 was 77799789080 or some such), indicating a type conversion error likely related to the encoding of the number.
I'd like to keep the datatypes as numeric and make ssis use those - any pointers are greatly appreciated as to what type my package variable should be to allow proper assignment of a sql server numeric type to it.
Thanks much,
B

How to sort table in sql2000 with ipaddress(format x.x.x.x) as column with nvarchar datatype in ascending order
without using stored procedure
Ex:
Table: netComputers(3 rows)
Column Name: ipAddress (string data type)
ipAddress
0.0.18.1
0.1.1.2
0.0.0.1
Sql query : if I use the query
Select ipAddress from netComputers order by cast( replace(ipaddress,'.','') as numeric(12)) asc
Gives result as :
ipAddress
0.0.0.1
0.1.1.2
0.0.18.1
Where as expected result should be:
ipAddress
0.0.0.1
0.0.18.1
0.1.1.2

Hello,
I have a column that is a currently set as nvarchar(50) and is called DateEmployed.
There are over a hundred rows that contain dates which is in nvarchar format.
This column now needs to be changed to a DateTime datatype. (Don't ask me it was not set
to a dateTime when this was first designed - I wasn't here)
However, I have to change this column to a DateTime without destroying the data.
Is there any easy way to write some script or use studio management to change this.
Currently the data is displayed like this in this column dd/MM/yyyy i.e. 25/8/2007.
The method I am using to try and change this is by going to studio management clicking
modify on the column and changing the datatype from a nvarchar(50) to a DateTime.
I get this following error message:
- Unable to modify table.
Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type datetime.
The statement has been terminated.
Any suggestions would be most grateful,
Thanks,
Steve

I have a USERS database table with a column called IsValidated. It identifies if a user has been validated.
I'd like to know which datatype would be the most efficient for this column.
Our DBA made it a varchar(1) column. Would using int be better?
Please advice.

I have a message box or multiline textbox on my form and I am storing into an SQL DB. I currently have it as a VARCHAR, but that doesn't seem to store the carriage returns. Do I have to store them as a nvarchar, text, ntext or something else to make the returns show? I am pulling them out of the DB and showing them in a label where I replace the with a <br>.
tempMessage = Dr("Message")
message.Text = tempMessage.Replace("", "<br />")

Over the years I have always used the decimal(18,0) as the datatype forprimary keys. Aside from the number of significant numbers involved,would BigInt type be better for performance or is decimal(18,0) still okay.--Don VaillancourtDirector of Software DevelopmentWEB IMPACT INC.phone: 416-815-2000 ext. 245fax: 416-815-2001email: Join Bytes! <mailto:donv@webimpact.com>web: http://www.web-impact.comWeb Impact Inc. <http://www.web-impact.com>This email message is intended only for the addressee(s) and containsinformation that may be confidential and/or copyright.If you are not the intended recipient please notify the sender by replyemail and immediately delete this email.Use, disclosure or reproduction of this email by anyone other than theintended recipient(s) is strictly prohibited.
